you could always create one.

True, I could create an "IAMA" community, however I would prefer using this community [assuming it's allowed] because that would mirror the r/askreddit community that most people here are probably familiar with, which is an advantage

[–] otter@lemmy.ca 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I feel like it fits the intent of the community, but yea you'd need a mod to weigh in

[–] kakes@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

Can they, though?

[–] GlenRambo@jlai.lu 1 points 1 year ago

Then ones of people would join the community and discussion.

Are you a fireman?

[–] Default_Defect@midwest.social 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Dunno about that, but IANAL.

What is the I in IAMA or is it an l

[–] themusicman@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I always assumed it was a pun. AMA = Ask Me Anything. IAMA = I Am A

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

You say pun, but do you mean acronym? Although IAmA wouldn't really be an acronym, would it. Hmm...

[–] remotelove@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 year ago

It's absolutely an I and not an l.
